Confirmed from Kiwanis Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Kiwanis Park
“Good clean quiet park for kids at families to go and hang out and play plenty of parking very safe there is a dog and lake but not too close so it's great”
Kiwanis park ranks about number three for our family as far as parks go in Winterhaven – I love the open, easily managed traditional play structures with over 7 slides.
This is a beautiful park with an area for 2 and 3 year old kids and a bigger playground 50 feet away set up for 5+ . It has a table for playing chess and a nice lake with a dock you can walk out to . The bathrooms are a little grungy but usable in an emergency . Same as any park id say . That's why I put the 4 star .
No matter where you're running or walking or exercising there's always something to be proud of by yourself for accomplishing anywhere from a 2.5 mile run to a 4.5 mi run. You go girl!
